Los Dados' Micheladas

I finally made it down to the newly opened High Line last week. I thought it would be the high point of my afternoon downtown, but I was wrong! That came at lunch. We sat down at Los Dados, located on Gansevoort Street directly opposite the High Line staircase and my friend ordered a Michelada. A what?
I had never heard of it! Apparently it's a popular Mexican cocktail and is now my favorite summer 2009 drink! It's similar to a spicy Bloody Mary, but is made with beer. Salud!

Procedure
1. Squeeze the juice from the lime and set aside. Salt the rim of a highball glass by rubbing it with the lime and dipping it in coarse salt. Fill with ice.
2. Add lime juice, Worcestershire, soy sauce, Tabasco, pepper and Maggi, if desired.
3. Pour in beer, stir and serve, adding more beer as you sip.
